Description

Description from Wellcome Collection

'We often hear that "the myth is more potent than reality." Is that why myth continues to play such a significant role in medicine? Do some notions widely thought to be medical folklore actually have a scientific basis? Dr. Micheal Hefferon explores the interface when some of our traditional notions about health meet evidence based medicine'--Provided by publisher.
